The mantle shelf came today and is exactly what we wanted. the craftsman ship is excellent and the packaging was top notch. Correspondences during the process was always timely and the whole process was very simple and direct. From ordering to delivery. Will definitely use them again. For any other projects.

We are renovating our family room and needed a new mantel beam for our fireplace. We were frustrated working with a middle man, so we found and contacted Don and Heather, and asked them to make our new beam exactly to our specifications. They did, and it is beautiful! The craftsmanship is of the highest quality. It is exactly what we were looking for. We live in Minnesota, but working with a manufacturer in Missouri was not a problem at all. The beam was very well packaged for transport and arrived safely. We are so very happy with our new mantel beam--thank you Don and Heather!

Simply Excellent!

Don and Heather Knecht of Custom Corners, LLC were the ultimate professionals with which to work. They crafted a beautiful walnut floating mantel to my exact specifications, finished it flawlessly and delivered it as promised. The craftsmanship exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them to anyone seeking custom wood design. My wife and I will definitely seek them out for future custom projects!

The floating shelves are beautifully made and will make a stunning statement in our kitchen! And the two custom floating bedside floating shelves are perfect! beautiful walnut finish, we couldn’t be more pleased. will post photos once construction is completed! Thank you so much, the project was high quality and value!

Heather and Bill were really helpful in choosing the right size, stain and wood for all the shelving/mantel and answered all of our questions quickly. Everything turned out great! Highly recommend them!

I cannot say enough positive about my experience purchasing 2 cherry mantles from Custom Corners LLC. From my first email, communication was frequent and helpful. All promises were kept related to the process, the price, the shipping, and the final product. The price was fair, the shipping boxes were well protected, and most important, the quality the work was first-class furniturevgrade. My impression: Don is an artist and Heather makes it all happen!

We changed the mantel to solid cherry with a natural finish and it is beautiful and well made! We had a few calls to be sure we were on same page as to details and delivery timeframe. It arrived even a bit sooner than promised. Many thanks to Don and Heather. I would definitely work with them again.

It was a pleasure working with Heather! She answered all my questions in a very timely manner and was very accommodating with samples before I made my final decision on a stain and wood for my new custom mantel. The final product was also very well packaged for shipping, so there was no damage whatsoever. My new mantel is beautiful and it was worth getting it custom made.

This was my second project with Don and Heather- once again they did not disappoint! Great craftsmanship. Excellent color matching and super easy to work with. The products are meticulously packaged and very well protected. From start to finish I could not ask for a better experience.

We are very happy with our new mantel. The ordering process was easy. The mantel is exactly what I wanted and its beautiful.

A pleasant experience. Highly communicative.

Fantastic!! Our new mantel looks great!! Delivery was impressive, the mantel was packaged very very well and came in perfect condition, even though the mantel was huge and hard to ship. I would highly highly recommend this seller- excellent from start to finish.

I needed a mantel that was just so wide, deep and thick and found it here. It could not have been easier to order. Then the day came when it arrived. I could not believe how well packaged it was. In fact, it was so well packaged, it was hard to open the box. there was the cardboard outer, a masonite inner, with a foam and styrofoam sheet inside. Needless to say, the mantel came totally undamaged. After unpacking, it was so easy to install. I do have to say that it does not come with all necessary tools so those without special bits on drill drivers, you may have to go to the hardware store. Fortunately, I had the right bit needed to screw the ledger to the wall studs. Not a big expense, but could have been included with the installation package. It would have been a nuisance to have to go to the hardware store just to get the right bit. I do have one piece of advice on the package. Where the final three screws go to attach the mantel to the ledger, the mantel could have been pre-countersunk so that the screw would sit flush or below flush to the surface so that the stick-on wood covers can be installed without additional work on the part of the new owner. In my case, I saw that the predrilled holes needed to be countersunk, and I had the tool, so it was not a problem. Still, some buyers who do not have a contractor/installer could use, the help. Overall, the few criticisms I have are easily resolved. Please do not interpret these comments as negatives. They are just meant to help make a very good produce even better. I would not have mentioned these issues, but feel that this is valuable feedback to the makers that would greatly improve the buyer's experience at negligible cost to the supplier. Thanks. Great product. I am very happy with it.

Beautiful mantel! The entire project went great from start to finish. Arrived packed very well with no damage. Could not be happier. Quality craftsmanship!

I truly love and am thrilled with the mantel that I had ordered to a custom length. The packaging was exceptional, the instructions clear and simple and it was a very easy install. The grain on the exposed face of the mantel is beautiful, I’m really very happy to have done business with Custommade!

Amazing craftsmanship, incredible packing, and amazingly fast shipping!

Really awesome experience from start to finish. Absolutely will recommend to others.

My shelves arrived just in time for Thanksgiving which makes me even more excited to host our family! The craftmanship is stunning! Great communication...quick responses and explanations. If I ever have another project, I'm using Custom Corners again!

Heather was so great to work with! She was very proactive and responsive, and helped me to figure out what we needed and wanted in a mantel. We received it two weeks earlier than estimated, and it looked exactly like what we talked about. No surprises, in a good way! We very happy the mantel and would work with Custom Corners again!

Don and Heather were a pleasure to work with on this project. Heather was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She answered all of my questions about what shelves to order and even provided custom installation instructions. The final product is high quality and exactly as ordered. I couldn’t be happier with how the project turned out.

Xlnt experience working with them. They delivered exactly what we ordered and what was promised with one exception, only the ends and front were solid walnut, the top and underside were both plywood with a thin walnut veneer. It looks great so I won’t try to return it but the description was solid walnut( and why I assumed it cost what it did).
